After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

Chapter 37 - 37 37 I twisted your arm off I apologize

?37: Chapter 37: I twisted your arm off, I apologize.

37: Chapter 37: I twisted your arm off, I apologize.

Dark clouds covered the sky, a light breeze carrying a hint of chill.

After a long while, as if through great hardship, the breeze managed to scatter the clouds.

Bright moonlight illuminated the earth.

It shone upon the bewildered Ren Shan in front of the house and the smiling Gu An before her.

Their eyes met.

Then a calm voice tinged with a smile broke the silence: “Immortal, what’s wrong?

Do you not like seeing me?”

“Senior Brother Gu.” Ren Shan greeted him, then said with an apology:

“I’m sorry, but perhaps Brother has misunderstood.

We, a mother and daughter alone in the world, must plead pitifully or else no one would help us.

I am just trying to save myself; I hope Brother can understand.”

“Are you apologizing to me?” Gu An asked with a smile.

“Yes.” Ren Shan replied earnestly: “I naturally admit to my mistakes, and I hope Brother can forgive me.”

“When I helped you, you thanked me, and now that you want to harm me, you apologize.” Gu An said with a smile: “Immortal, don’t you think that’s a bit too much?”

“Brother Gu must be joking.” Ren Shan responded seriously, lowering her head:

“It’s only right to thank you for your help, and to apologize if my words inadvertently implicated you.”

“Is that all?” Gu An asked in return.

“Please don’t make things difficult for me, Senior Brother.

If we mother and daughter had the means, we wouldn’t have to resort to this.” Ren Shan said pitifully.

Seeing this, Gu An laughed, not saying anything but instead took a step forward.

A crazy howling ensued.

The sudden gust startled the other party.

Just as she wanted to react, suddenly a figure appeared, placing a hand on her arm.

The power of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer burst forth in an instant.

The hand that grasped her twisted fiercely.

Thud!

Flesh tore and bones broke.

“Ah!”

Sharp pain made Ren Shan cry out involuntarily.

But she quickly covered her mouth.

Still, blood spilled as an arm was twisted off by force.

Bang!

In the moment the arm was twisted off, Gu An kicked out.

Ren Shan had no chance to react.

She was kicked from the doorway and flew outside.

Landing heavily on the ground outside.

Gu An, looking at the shocked and confused face before him, said softly: “I’m sorry, I accidentally twisted off Immortal’s arm.”

“You…” Ren Shan bit her teeth in surprise.

She had thought the man before her was a good-natured person, and moreover, one who didn’t care much for the company of women.

How could he possibly attack a woman like her?

“Seeing the Immortal fighting with those people for so long without losing an arm or a leg, I was quite worried for them.

I thought I’d give them a hand.” Gu An asked quietly, looking at the person before him: “Immortal won’t blame me for taking liberties, right?”

“You hid your cultivation?” It took Ren Shan a while to get the question out.

“Hiding cultivation?” Gu An looked at her and said: “Immortal seems shrewd, so why ask such a naïve question?

Do I look old to you, shouldn’t my cultivation be high?”

This left Ren Shan somewhat speechless.

What is a Qi Refining Seventh Layer doing here?

The difference between the sixth and seventh layers is the difference between Mid-stage and Late Stage.

It’s not a mere one level difference.

At his age, staying here – shouldn’t he be a Qi Refining Sixth Level with no hope, deciding instead to lead a peaceful life here?

Gu An did not care, and instead asked: “So, what is Immortal’s secret?”

Upon hearing this, Ren Shan realized: “You’re also here for the secret, waiting on purpose?”

Gu An looked at her as if she was an idiot.

To call this woman foolish, she seemed rather calculative.

If it weren’t for his arrival today, who knows how much trouble she would cause later.

But to call her smart, she keeps asking foolish questions.

Quite good at flattering oneself.

Just because she’s pretty, she’s this confident?

Charming Technique, secrets.

She seems to believe these should attract attention.

If I don’t do this task, I won’t die, so why bother with all this scheming?

“This question is like Immortal’s Charming Technique.” Gu An mocked lightly:

“What do you think I’m after?

After your child?

After your age?”

Ren Shan didn’t care what Gu An said but responded: “Do you think you can get what you want this way?

You might as well try killing me.”

Upon hearing this, Gu An was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected her to be so delusional.

Perhaps the other party always felt that it was okay to be manipulated by others, but how could they be controlled by someone as old and weak as him, without any background?

What is this called?

Better to be prey to an enemy than a slave to a family member.

Something like that, right?

Being controlled by someone they looked down upon was something the other party was unwilling to accept.

Gu An sighed.

Then, under the other party’s resolute gaze, he stepped forward.

The winds howled fiercely.

Hundred Steps Chasing Wind was activated.

Ren Shan looked at the other party, knowing that the person who wanted the secret would never kill her.

As long as she clenched her teeth and regained the initiative.

The person before her would not be able to hurt her again.

Afterward, she could use her charm to find a better opportunity.

However…

The other party swiftly approached her with a speed like thunder that didn’t give her a chance to cover her ears.

Then, with a ‘bang,’ a kick sent her flying.

Immediately after, the person closed in.

A long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

Without any hesitation, he thrust the sword.

‘Puchi!’

The sword pierced through Ren Shan’s abdomen as if stabbing through thin paper.

‘Pu!’

She spouted a mouthful of fresh blood, somewhat in disbelief.

However, Gu An did not stop; he now had another long sword in his hands.

Qi Sea Gang Qi enveloped it.

He brought the sword down in a cleaving motion.

In Ren Shan’s astonished moment, the sword traced a perfect arc under the moonlight.

‘Bang!’

A powerful impact burst forth from Ren Shan’s neck.

A small shield blocked the lethal blow.

Gu An’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he increased his strength.

Qi Sea Gang Qi burst forth.

“Die for me!”

The low voice sounded like an incantation summoning death.

The sword’s light blazed brilliantly.

‘Crack!’

‘Bang!’

The clash of forces exploded.

Gu An took two steps back, while Ren Shan was sent flying.

After steadying himself, Gu An looked at the broken sword in his hand with some shock.

Did it really break just like that?

The reason for the break was not much related to him but the rebound of force from the shield.

But the shield also fell to the ground; Gu An picked it up to see some cracks, yet it was still usable.

Stowing away the shield, Gu An walked toward Ren Shan, who had fallen in the corner.

And at this moment, Ren Shan looked at the person before her with a face full of terror.

Somehow in disbelief.

From the recent attack, she could clearly sense that the other party really intended to kill her.

If it weren’t for the Life-saving Treasure, she might have actually died.

In her prime, she would have had no fear.

But as she was now…

She couldn’t resist.

She had tried to read the person before her over and over, but each time she was wrong.

“Se-, Senior Brother, ple-, please spare me.”

Ren Shan began to beg for mercy.

However, Gu An did not pay any attention to her, just stood in front of her, grasping the sword that remained in Ren Shan’s body.

Then, with a ‘pur,’ he pulled out the sword.

A muffled sound of pain arose, and fresh blood spilled on the ground, starkly conspicuous.

Gu An, holding the sword, looked at her indifferently.

“Senior Brother, we can negotiate anything,” Ren Shan said weakly as she covered her wound.

Gu An continued to look at her coldly.

“I, I can hand over the secret to Senior Brother,” Ren Shan quickly said.

Disappointment showed in Gu An’s eyes, then he raised the sword in his hand.

And brought it swiftly down.

Without intention to kill, but it will kill.
